Hey you, go for a walk.
#WritcoPoemPrompt43
Write a poem on how to do something mundane most people take for granted, such as how to tie your shoes, how to turn on a lamp, how to pour a cup of coffee.

Gravel crunching beneath the soles of your feet.
Move forward not knowing who or what you may meet.
Are you on the pathway in the park? Take a moment use the imagination and wander. Use that childlike spark.
Making your way down the busy streets? Take that moment, blend in with the crowd, be discreet. Escape the stresses and worries of the day even if for just a while.
Strolling through your neighborhood? Mingle with your fellow friends. Offer your hand to Ms. Jane, help her open that pesky trash bin.
Send a nice word to the shy child peaking around her fence.
Hey you, go for a walk. No matter the distance, no matter the terrain, no matter the path. Escape those worries go for that stroll.
You will never see how good for the soul it can be until you feel the movement of those feet.
